In order to start taxation change, you have to realize that governments do not tax their people. A government is simply paperwork. That is why a government is referred to as a state. The state is simply a state of mind that has been written on paper. Paper can't do anything. It can't jump up and down. It can't drive a car. It is always people doing things.

Taxation is merely people forcing other people to give their property over to them.

Once you get this through your head, that taxation is people forcing other people to hand over their property, only then will you have a clear enough view of things to start to figure out how to change laws so that there is no taxation.

Cool

It is true that the State can't do anything if the people don't want to.
But the state isn't just "paperwork"
The state is the common ground of people. It's what they all more or less agree on.

And I don't see anything wrong with taxes, how do you expect to pay for public services without them? Every "private" service has been proven being objectively worse and more expensive... Look at USA healthcare and education, twice as expensive as French one and largelely worse.

What I think is wrong is that we're not deciding what get expended where. That's wrong I agree
